"My cousin said that Brother Yue is a bad guy, so she didn't come to dinner."
"Brother Yue, what on earth did you do to your cousin?"
[Wangxianju] In the private room, Abi pouted and complained angrily to Qin Shou.
"I didn't do anything to you ladies, don't talk nonsense."
Qin Shou shouted that he was wronged, and then said with a bad smile: "Ask Daoist Master Ma Yuma about this matter."
"He should know better than me."
Abi rolled her eyes at Qin Shou: "Don't think that I am easy to deceive because I am young."
"Obviously it was you who told the lady first, and then she went to find Master Dema."
Qin Shou gave a thumbs up and praised: "Abi is great, she knows what it means to trace your origins."
"You..." Abi was no match for Qin Shou. She lost her temper after just a few words and was still thinking about how to refute.
Kou Zhong, who went downstairs to order, hurried into the room, sat on a chair and asked:
"Brother Yue, guess who I saw?"
Qin Shou was stunned, walked around with his consciousness, and said with a smile:
"Elder Shi, Old Hall Master Shen, and Gui Xiliang, who I have never dealt with."
"I'll go!" Kou Zhong was surprised and said in admiration: "Brother, you are really awesome, everyone knows this."
"You haven't opened your eyes, have you?"
"You can learn this skill in the future." Qin Shou said with a smile: "Open the door, they are coming."
"Brother Yue, their private room is on the other side." Kou Zhong thought Qin Shou was joking.
As he stood up to open the door, he opened his mouth to explain.
Ka-
The moment the door opened, Kou Zhong's smiling face immediately froze.
Outside the door was Gui Xiliang, raising his right hand as if knocking on the door.
"You... why are you here?" Kou Zhong asked in surprise, and immediately pointed to the other side: "Isn't your private room opposite?"
"It was Elder Shi who heard that Junior Brother was here and came here to express his gratitude." Gui Xiliang said calmly.
"Ah! Come in then!" Kou Zhong quickly turned half sideways and invited Gui Xiliang, Shen Beichang and Shi Long to enter the room.
Qin Shou in the room did not pretend to be pretentious, but greeted them with a smile, stood up and saluted the three of them politely.
"Bai Yue has met Elder Shi, Hall Master Shen, and Senior Brother Gui."
Shi Long and Shen Beichang, two old mountain ginsengs, said with a smile, "Excuse me."
Gui Xiliang, on the other hand, was still a little hesitant and didn't want to acknowledge Qin Shou, a "good" junior brother who didn't know where he came from.
Qin Shou enthusiastically pulled Shi Long to sit down. The latter nodded and said with a smile:
"Old Shen and I heard that Military Master Yue was celebrating here, so we thought we would come over to have a look and have a drink along the way."
"You wouldn't mind coming uninvited."
"Why not!" Qin Shou is a second-generation man no matter what.
Naturally, we understand that we must unite the masses, gather strength, and promote the harmonious development of the organization:
"It's an honor for you to come."
Seeing how polite Qin Shou was, Ah Zhu quickly stood up and poured wine for several people, looking like a good housekeeper.
"Commander Yue, thank you for giving me the [Small Returning Pill], please do it first as a token of respect!"
Shi Long raised his wine glass and saluted Qin Shou, and drank the full glass into his mouth without saying a word.
"Elder Shi is too polite. It was just fate."
"Now, you and I work together for the [Bamboo Flower Gang], so you don't have to be too polite."
To be honest, Qin Shou still felt very bad for stealing the [Secret of Immortality] in the first place.
He can use a [Small Return Pill] to settle the debt in his heart. He thinks this transaction is worth it.
"Master Yue is so awesome!" Shen Beichang, who was sitting nearby, heard what Qin Shou said and praised him loudly while stroking his white beard.
The few people chatted happily, except Gui Xiliang who was always lukewarm.
Shi Long and Shen Beichang were both highly praised.
After drinking for three rounds, Qin Shou humbly asked for advice:
"Old Shi, I have always been curious. In the martial arts world, why are there divisions of realms and divisions of combat power?"
"What's the specific difference?"
Shi Long glanced at Shen Beichang and smiled:
"As we all know, the realm of us warriors is divided into Qi refining, bone forging, external strength, internal strength...land gods."
"However, the difference in combat power between the first four realms is not obvious."
"The Qi Refining Realm has developed powerful martial arts, and there are many examples of defeating those with strong inner strength."
Having said this, Shi Long paused, looked at everyone and continued:
"But once you reach the [Grandmaster Realm], it will be different."
"It can be said that there are two watersheds in terms of combat power."
"Even the weakest grandmaster can defeat the strongest first-class master."
Kou Zhong asked anxiously: "Why is this?"
"Why do I feel that the two of them are similar?"
Shi Long laughed "haha", stretched out a finger and said:
"Because of 'meaning', all masters and masters have understood their own 'meaning'."
"Qi can move at will, and with just a thought, the true energy of the Dantian can be released at will."
meaning?
Qin Shou seemed to have caught something, but also seemed to have caught nothing.
The word "meaning" is very vague and yet very clear.
"Some people never realize the 'meaning' in their entire lives."
"Some people... break through after just sleeping."
I saw Shi Long tapping his fingers on the table, and a column of water rose from the wine glass in front of him.
It swayed left and right and let him drive it, and finally, it fell back into the cup again.
Everyone was amazed and shouted that it was awesome.
"When I hear the Tao of life and death in the morning and in the evening, my internal energy is fully developed at the age of thirty."
"But I still haven't understood my 'meaning', so that I can't break through to the [Grandmaster Realm]." Shen Beichang sighed with a face full of reluctance.
"This thing can only be understood, not expressed."
"Otherwise, how could there be only a hundred masters in the world?"
Shi Long nodded and said seriously.
"No wonder Mr. Shi, you have been able to suppress Yangzhou City for decades."
"Looking at it now, it's really cool..."
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling couldn't help but admire:
"Too cool?" Shi Long looked at the two young boys Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling curiously, with doubts in his eyes.
"It just... means powerful and handsome." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling hurriedly explained.
"Oh, oh, oh...I see, I am behind the times, behind the times."
Shilong laughed "haha" and looked very happy.
…
A pleasant banquet ended quickly. Qin Shou said goodbye to Shi Long and Shen Beichang, and took a few children home.
Several people were chatting and laughing and telling interesting stories.
"Brother Yue, Zi Ling and I have also been to the tomb."
"However, the old man who taught us is going to die, so we won't go down anymore."
Kou Zhong said showily.
"Yes, I heard from him that he was a captain when he was young. He was very powerful."
Xu Ziling nodded and agreed.
"Are you touching Colonel Jin?" Azhu asked.
"That's right, just touch Captain Jin. He still has something to do and can teach us some tips."
Kou Zhong showed off and said: "Looking for the dragon and dividing the money, look at the mountain. Each mountain is a barrier. If there are eight layers of danger in closing the door, there will be no yin and yang and the eight trigrams..."
Qin Shou raised his eyebrows and chuckled:
"Haha, next time I find a tomb, I will take you down to have a look."
He said and pushed open the door of the house.
Instantly, I felt a strange yet familiar aura, and the smile on my face suddenly changed, and he said in a cold voice:
"It's really an honor for me to have distinguished guests come uninvited."
